Read the first 7 AWS Architecture flashcards as text

  1. Which AWS architecture principle recommends designing systems to withstand component failures without affecting end users?

    Answer: Design for failure

    The 'Design for failure' principle encourages building systems that assume components will fail and remain operational despite those failures.

  2. A company wants to ensure their application automatically adds EC2 instances during peak traffic. Which AWS service enables this?

    Answer: AWS Auto Scaling

    AWS Auto Scaling automatically adjusts the number of EC2 instances based on demand, ensuring performance during peaks and cost savings during low traffic.

  3. Which AWS architecture pattern distributes incoming traffic across multiple targets to improve availability?

    Answer: Load balancing

    Load balancing distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets such as EC2 instances to improve availability and fault tolerance.

  4. What is the primary benefit of using multiple AWS Availability Zones in an architecture?

    Answer: High availability and fault tolerance

    Deploying across multiple Availability Zones provides high availability and fault tolerance by isolating failures to a single zone.

  5. Which AWS service acts as a fully managed message broker that decouples application components?

    Answer: Amazon SQS

    Amazon SQS is a fully managed message queuing service that decouples and scales microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications.

  6. What does the term 'elasticity' mean in AWS cloud architecture?

    Answer: The ability to scale resources up or down based on demand

    Elasticity is the ability to acquire resources as you need them and release them when you no longer need them, scaling with demand.

  7. A startup wants to reduce the risk of a single point of failure in their AWS architecture. What approach should they use?

    Answer: Use redundancy across multiple AZs

    Using redundancy across multiple Availability Zones eliminates single points of failure by ensuring no one failure can take down the entire system.
